Last year I was diagnosed with having several small cysts on both of my ovaries. My right ovary is the worst and it is also enlarged. Usually around the time I get my period I start to get pain on my lower right side. The Dr prescribed birth control pills which was supposed to help with the irregular bleeding and to shrink the cysts.
Last month I had the pain in my right side but also now have shortness of breath and dizziness which ended me up in the ER. Those dr’s told me it could have nothing to do with my period and didn’t even send me for any xrays of my pelvis.

Could the shortness of breath and dizziness have anything to do with these cysts? And when does the Dr remove the cysts.
Also I am 26 years old and no health problems except for this.

I had a single ovarian cyst where a follicle was to ovulate but didn’t release the egg until menses when it finally ruptured as it should have at ovulation. I know these are common on occasion in all ovulating women as my DR said. When it was there it was a cramping feeling combined with a strange tickle like when you hit a bump in the road and get butterflies. It was from pressure on other organs. But, after it was gone (all normal as seen by ultra sound) I still feel the strange tickle in my organs without the cramping. Anyone have any experience with ovarian cysts and did symptoms go away completely once it was gone? I should note, this isn’t a little twinge feeling that I’m imagining.. it’s pretty strong and I’m not preg… my monthly cycles are normal, no ‘female’ issues at all and hormones ok too.

I’ve had a cyst in my right ovary, I’ve never had it treated. I discovered I had this cyst when I lost a baby last year; miscarriage. I found out I was preg this year b/c of the sharp pain in that same area; I’m 2 months pregnant and the doctor has seen the cyst; she’s not concerned; however, I’m having sharp pains in that area; should I be concerned? I don’t see her again until 3 weeks from now.
I never had it treated b/c I fell into a deep depression after I lost the baby last year.
Yes ma’am; there was a fear that it was an ectopic pregnancy early on b/c of the pain, and I’ve had an ultrasound since and the gestation sac did drop and all is well, but that pain persists.

Hello, I am a non-sexually active 17 year old female. I haven’t had a menstrual cycle in 3 months. This is not normal for me. I have been getting a watery white dischage almost daily, which is heavier than regular daily discharge. I got PMS-like symptoms. (break outs, cramps) once a month but then they go away and the period just doesnt happen. Im not underweight or overweight, I havent lost a lot or gained alot. I dont take any medications.

Does this sound like an Ovarian Cyst? My period ended yesterday. But for the week before my period started, and even now, my ovaries have been hurting bad, I have PMS symptoms even when I am not PMSing. Last night, my left Ovary hurt so bad, I thought I would die. It was excrucating and debilitating. It went away within seconds though. Today, my other Ovary hurts. Is this worth a trip to the ER?

Can you still give birth if you have ovarian cysts? I recently found out that I have ovarian cysts, I have pain in my abdomen alot I just experienced 1 rupturing yesterday. I know birth control is a way to prevent cysts, but I would like to have a child.

i went to the DR today and she said i have a cyst on my right ovary, she did a urine pregnancy test, which was negative. i am going to have an ultra-sound later early next week, where i am going to have them do blood work. any ways, im not if the symptoms i am having are from my cyst or pregnancy(i think it may be pregnancy) b/c when i got pregnant the first time it was late to detect, and cause me to have a cyst just like the one i have now…. i have been having a lot of pregnancy symptoms, but i dont know the symptoms of just having a cyst.
*hot flashes
*nauseous (especially after i eat)
*head aches on and off
*extremely vivid dreams
*milky discharge(not think, almost runny—TMI, sorry)
*constipated
*flu-like symptoms
*dizziness about once a day
*MAJOR food aversions

—i know the cyst didnt rupture, cause she could feel it when i went in today

I’m 14, and this is my first cyst. I’ve had it now for about 4 weeks. It was diagnosed at 4.2 cm. At that time, I was just nausiated and having little to mild pain. Now, as the time goes on, the pain gets worse, I’m bloated and don’t have any appetite whatsoever, my bowel movements are painful, and pain medicine such as Naproxen Sodium and Tylenol with Codine aren’t relieving any pain. Just this morning, I was woke up by my stomach. It started to cramp up, so I rolled over, and my mouth started to water like I was going to throw up. I found out that if you swallow the saliva, you won’t throw up, so I did that, and the symptom passed. For awhile. It keeps coming back, and if I didn’t know that trick, I probably would’ve thrown up by now. Now I’m very weak, having pain that nearly spikes an 8 on that hospital pain chart, and I feel like drugging myself to die so I wouldn’t have to go through this. I have a high pain tolerance, but this is just torture.

My ObGyn wanted me to wait until my first period to start birth control, but mine shouldn’t happen until November. I can’t miss anymore school.
What should I do? I’m afraid to ask my mom to go to the ER because my aunt is a hypochondriac and anytime I think something’s medically wrong with me, I feel like I’m just complaining like she does. And my mom has work early tomorrow and she needs sleep.
Is the cyst twisting, or about to burst? Has it already burst? I don’t usually double over in pain, and haven’t yet.
Please help me. :[

It’s not appendicitis, and I was diagnosed by a CT Scan with injection and barium. They were looking for appendicitis, but my appendix was fine.

i found out last friday i had a cyst, i have had two weeks of pain and pg symptoms, turns out it was from the cyst. pain started sat night and went into early sunday morning. the pain was sharp side pains, and pinching pain in my ovaries. it got really bad and i was doubled over in pain crying and then it would settle down and get bad all over again. well then i got charley horse cramping in my abodmen and i was on the ground in tears and in fetal position i scared my roommate because i was crying and screaming kind of. so i went to the er,after a bunch of tests which showed nothing (they didnt do an ultra sound since i already had one which showed a cyst) she did a pelvic,i still had pain on the right side, when she pushed down it sent shooting charley horse pains up my side, it was determined that it had ruptured. im still getting sharp side pains,with some pinching pain. not nearly as bad, but still hurts, how long until it goes away? they said 2 days. never had this happen before.
when i went in the er there wasnt any bleeding, it said in my report (i work in the hosp and can get this) that i had calcifications in my pelvic area and had phleboliths which are like small blood clots, so i wonder if that is from the cyst. but the pain is still really bad. its all on the right side unless it is very heavy menstrual cramps. and its all that pinching pain and up the side of my right side and sometimes my back has the knife like stabbing pains up it too. er said they really couldnt do anything. the cyst ruptured here at my house, i didnt want to go sit in there for 8 hours espcially when i knew it was gonna rupture. this is day 4 after it happened early sunday morning. it was so intense yesterday at work i was in tears. i will make any apt with a gyne soon, but i cant handle another pelvic exam again right now. i guess maybe its because of the fluid or something in my body. i dont get the problems breathing at all. god i want my life to be normal again! thanks everyone

I am 24 years old and since the 6th of April I have felt "just not right" and I had my period on the 22nd March, the symptoms I have been experiencing are:

:Cramps, pains in what feels like my ovaries
:Vaginal discharge, that is almost like water
:Nausea
:Bloating
:Sore nipples-with the veins on my boobs very noticable and tingly.
:Exhaustion
:Light headed, minor headaches.
and other things that I can’t quite remember, but these symptoms have been consistant for the last 2 weeks. I am going to see a doctor this week to find out what is wrong.
Just wondering if anyone has felt like this before??
I have taken two pregnancy tests both negative, but I guess it would still be early days if I was.
